Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 370.344:-

Application filed April 26, 1907.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

upper part of the same being suflicient to Be it known that I, NrnLs JoEnsnNsEN, a support the upright standard in rigid posicitizen of the United States, residing in est tion. Hoboken, in the county 0 Hudson and State The auxiliary car-seat b is provided with a of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Auxiliary Car- Seats, of whic the following is a speci cation.

This invention relates to an improved auxiliary car-seat, and more especially to an im rovement on the auxiliary car-seat or which Letters Patent were granted to me on April 22, 1890, No. 426,278, the auxiliary seat being intended to be used with car-seats in which no parting-strips are used between the seats, so t at the auxiliary seat can be adjusted independently of an connection with the ordinary car-seat; an for this purpose the invention consists in. the novel tures of construction and combinations 0 parts which will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side-elevation of my improve auxiliary car-seat showing it connected with the regular seat, Fig. 2 is a lanview of I 1, Figs. 3 and 4 are vertica transverse sections, drawn on a larger scale, showing the vertical and horizontal position, and ig. 5 is a detail horizontal section on line 5, 5, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, a re resents a regular car-seat of that class which is not separated by parting-strips.

b is an auxiliary car-seat which is rounded off at the corners and slightly concave at the sides, and which is applied by a strong hinge connection h to the upper or T-shaped end (1 of an upright standard (1. The lower enlarged end or base of the standard is attached by screws (1 to the floor of the car. The standard (1 is connected at a'point below its T-shaped head by a horizontal brace e, which is attached by means of lugs and astening-screws to the front of the car-seat, and by to the upright standard the base 0 the upright means of a transverse rivet or pin a d, the fastenings standard and t flat spring app X at its under-side in which a flat springf is fastened at one end, while the free end of the spring engages the beveled edge of an inclined heel j" that is secured in arecess of the upper T-shaped end of the standard 61. The spring f exerts there by a tendency on the auxiliary seat to move it and hold it in vertical position.

When the seat is desired for use it is turned over on its hinge-connection with the uprig standard into horizontal position by the passenger. As soon as the seat is released it is automatically tilted into vertical position by the spring-connection between the standard and auxiliary seat.

Having thus described my invention, ,1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: 9

1. In a car-seat, the combination of a standard having an inclined heel at its upper end, a seat hinged to said standard, an a lied to the under surface of said seat and coacting with said heel to nor mally maintain 2. In a carseat, standard having an inclined heel at its upper end, a seat hinged to said standard at sai end and having a recess in its under surface, and aflat spring applied to said seat within plaid1 recess'and coacting with said inclined 3. In a car-seat, the combination of a standardhavin a T-shaped upper end, aseat, hinges by-whic said seat is hinged to said end at either side of the center, said standard having an inclined heel between said hinges, and a spring 00 acting with said heel by which the seat is normally held in vertical position.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
